Has anyone ever ordered through this site, then cancelled the order, and still gotten the mileage credit?

Does anyone one know if I get a friend to buy with their US card, but log in thru advantageshopping using my AA No. whether the points will post to my account (or stand a chance of posting anyway).

Is Anyone Else Having A Problem With These Links?
I just shot off an email to these folks telling them that some of the vendor links don't seem to be working. I am sure that they will shoot back that it's pop-blocking or ad-ware blocking but I really don't think that's it.
Some of the links do work. I've used the B&N link to buy some books earlier this week, but some of the others (and I haven't tried them all yet) gives you either a DNS error in IE or a weird pop up error in Firefox.
Anyone else seeing these problems? The one that I'm trying to get to and not succeeding with is Lands End. I've also found that the Avon and Blue Nile links also give you the same errors. They seem to come from the link forward site linksynergy.com.
Just once, I'd like to see these cross-promo sites work the way that they're supposed to 100 percent.

My MULTI bonus posted a few weeks ago. Yippi!
I am telling friends to let me order their gifts online so I can try for this bonus as well. We'll see...
Peace to all!

What about gift cards?
Did anyone notice any restrictions on buying gift cards? If I don't make $1000 in purchases, I'd like to top it off with a Target gift card. I can always find something to buy there over the next year.
